What to expect
The Döberitzer Heide is a 5000-hectare area in the Havelland region, part of the southeastern Nauen Plateau. It was formerly a military training area, but has been designated as a nature reserve and hosts a wilderness project by The Heinz Sielmann Foundation. The area is home to a variety of plant and animal species, including rare and endangered ones such as the white-tailed eagle, European otter, and Przewalski's horse. Visitors can hike and explore the heathland, which features open landscapes with heath, sandbanks, and dry grasslands. The Heinz Sielmann Foundation offers guided tours and events to introduce visitors to the flora and fauna of the area. With over 5000 plant and animal species identified, the Döberitzer Heide is a unique and fascinating place to visit

Heather bloom in Brandenburg: The most beautiful heath landscapes
Activities: We went hiking in the Döberitzer Heide, exploring the former military training ground. We walked the Rundweg, which can be varied in length. We even visited the Trockengraswiesen in Giebelfenn. You can find relics of the military, like bunkers, in the lila Blütenteppich
Highlights: The kids loved the possibility of spotting wild animals like deer and wild horses. It's a great place to watch for special butterflies and birds, and the kids were thrilled to explore the old bunkers. It really felt like being on another planet in the late summer ✨
